Losing Believe In Trading Success

I had a really honest conversation with my childhood friend, and he said that it sounded like I didn't truly believe in myself, like I didn't think that I could actually make it as a day trader. Sadly, I realized that he was right. All of those times when I didn't stick to my risk because I didn't want to take a loss, when I entered a trade and got out right away even though I was right - all of those times I didn't believe in myself, and that's why I did all those things. I'm not sure how to fix that except for pushing myself to believe more. After all, I left a very successful career to do day trading. I didn't make it the first year because I was still learning, but this year I didn't do very well because of a lack of self-belief. I'm trading right now, and I want to keep myself accountable, so I'll share the information here. I'm trading SSI, I'm short for an average of $4.41, risking $4.62. It has just closed first red day. I'm looking for a gap down and further. I am not cutting it unless I hit $4.62 or I hit my goal.  It's been so stressful to look for a day job while trying to stick to my rules and do day trading. Sometimes when I'm feeling really low it almost feels like a failure, even though I know that it's not. I will keep pushing at it, and I know that I can multitask well. It will happen for me, it will just take time, discipline and consistency. Please support my journey by subscribing to my Youtube channel and listening to my Podcast on your favorite platforms!
